Let's not get into the general directory structure issue (although I agree 
with you about separation.)

What I had in mind was a subdirectory for all files related to regression 
tests.  Currently that would be:

  compiler.cfg
  compiler_status.htm
  cs-beos.html
  cs-irix.html
  cs-linux.html
  cs-tru64.html
  cs-win32.html
  cs-win32.zip
  regression.cfg
  regression.cpp

Possible names:

  regression          // my least favorite
  regression-tests
  tests
  compiler-status     // my favorite (but I don't care all that much)

Pick one.
